The "implausible, improbable, and unreasonably unlikely" can be annoying, jarring, and even alienating for a reader or audience.
Here is an essay and writing exercise pulled from the "Plot Thickening" chapter in Now Write! Mysteries: Suspense, Crime, Thriller and Other Mystery Fiction Exercises, from a retired Near Eastern archaeologist and the author of the Lily Sampson mystery series, on how to achieve more plausibility.
With the soul of an artist, the enthusiasm of a beginner and the expertise of a professional, I’m dedicated to creative work and encouraging creativity in others.
Fostering effective storytelling isn’t just a job for me, it’s a way of life. I hone my storytelling skills on my own female-forward, inclusive screenplays, as an occasional screenwriting instructor, and frequent friend and mentor to fellow writers and their projects. I was also author/editor or co-author/editor of three writing anthologies: Now Write! Screenwriting, Now Write! Mysteries and Now Write! Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.
As a writer: 113 produced film, video and audio scripts for marketing, education and entertainment, including the indie feature film GUITAR MAN (19 awards - two for the screenplay,) an Emmy-nominated Public Works video, an environmental video for Levi Strauss (three awards) and five interactive projects for the Museum of the U.S. Army. Unproduced, I have a TV pilot under option, an award-winning spec comedy feature, and several contest Semi-Finalists.
As a content creator: my production background led me to script and screenwriting as a specialty. Shorts I directed, wrote (or co-wrote) and produced (or co-produced), include music videos, the metaphysical romance, Eternal Waltz (13 honors), and three episodes of the Anti-Heroine scripted audio anthology.
